An interesting choice if he were seeking to flee (/defect, perhaps) to Bolivia, as they have an extradition treaty with the United States [1].
It's bilateral, but I wonder if the Bolivians would keep him after the US refused to send them their former coca-growing president [2].

- zalew 13y agoHaving an extradition treaty doesn't automatically mean that the process will be successful or quick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extradition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extradition So don't hold your breath. > US refused to send them their former coca-growing president Not a shocker to me. They refused Poland sending a guy involved in contracting mob hitmen on our national police chief http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Mazur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Mazur
- sparky 13y agoAs stated in [2], it's the current President who is coca-growing, not the former one they want the US to extradite.
